Other Side Quote of the Day: “I regret I didnt know about Christopher Steele’s hiring pre-election. If I had, I would have volunteered to go to Europe and try to help him.

Quote of the Day: “For about a year, absolutely nothing has thwarted their supernatural ascent, including the threat of World War Three, leading some observers to believe that they have been rigged to perfection. Well, the algo-bots might be pretty fine-tuned, and the central bank inputs of fresh “liquidity” pretty much assured, but for all that, these markets are still human artifacts and Murphy’s Law still lurks out there in the gloaming with its cohorts, the diminishing returns of technology (a.k.a. “Blowback”), and the demon of unintended consequences.

Other Side Quote of the Day: “I’m worried about Hillary Clinton, she’s no longer a candidate, she’s not really part of our government, and she’s walking around in the forest, and if we don’t have good forest workers, could she be hurt by a tree falling out of the forest?” – Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn

Other Side Quote of the Day: “Tom Perez and the new leadership of the DNC were not involved in the decision-making regarding Fusion GPS, nor were they aware that Perkins Coie was working with the organization.” – DNC Communications Director Xochitl Hinojosa
